The Department of Linguistics at the University of Washington is pleased to host the 4th Sound Systems of Latin America (SSLA 4). SSLA4 brings together scholars to study the sound systems of indigenous languages in Central and South America—regions rich in linguistic diversity but with many languages dormant or endangered. These sound systems are diverse yet under-studied. The conference covers synchronic and diachronic phonetics and phonology of specific dialects and languages, contributions to typological studies, and documentation of languages with undescribed or under-described phonologies. Many of the scholarly talks presented at the conference will discuss direct collaborations with indigenous communities for language documentation, thus promoting indigenous points of views in the development of the best practices within this field for carrying out research. Speakers: - Gabriela Caballero (UC San Diego)
- Gabriel A. Gallinate (UT Austin)
